Dear R people I must estimate a linear model with the L1 norm. S-Plus includes the l1fit command that performs exactly what I need, but I do not know how to do it in R. I checked the 'lqs' library, but it was not included there. Do you how to estimate it with R? Thanks in advance Miguel A. ************************************ Miguel A.

Why? (Is this a homework?) There are lots of things wrong with l1 norm solutions.

Check out the quantreg package on CRAN for a *much* comprehensive solution. Also, you could use rlm() in library MASS with k \approx 0, but k \approx 1 is a much better idea.
